11/13/24 23:59: N Q: Homely I was also self employed which is why I maximize my social security with waiting till I was 70 to retire but that's a bummer that your husband will be sitting back and relaxing while you still work :(
I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy to do in your retirement, even if it's just sitting and reading whatever you want which is what takes up a nice portion of my days, it's just relaxing knowing I don't have to get up and go to work.

11/12/24 17:59: silversquirrel: The post is fake. MD never wrote in that way. Just some clever user who wants to stir up controversy. Pitiful.
11/12/24 17:56: silversquirrel: Hello fellow Opentopia fans. It's Arizona Sue or Silver Squirrel. Has it really been two years since MD went AWOL. Her head would be swiveling what with all the political mess happening here in the US. It's going to be a bumpy ride. Hubby and I want to relocate to Europe.
11/12/24 15:46: Moose: In all my interactions with MD, she NEVER cut and pasted like this.
11/12/24 03:29: Homely: N Q, I am absolutely spastic with fine motor skills, so I am doubly impressed with your bear! What lovely work you do! I'm finding myself starting to contemplate retirement, but i have a good 5-10 years of working to do to make up for $$ lost putting kids through college. Sigh. DH is retiring in about 18 months. He is older than I, and will get a pension. I am self employed and have to maximize savings for the next several years. I wonder what I might take up when I finally get there?
11/09/24 16:23: N Q: Homely when I saw Marie Celeste, I also first thought it was MD, until I read the whole post and that's just not her style and when did she ever sign her posts with MD, never !
It was thoughtless of whoever made that post to use her initials, maybe they thought it would lend more credence to the message if we thought it was MD ?
I haven't been out at night lately so I don't know if there's any lit trees around but because it's been so nice out, I'm guessing people are putting up their outside lights now before the weather gets bad.

Since retiring I've taken up crocheting again, something I haven't done in about 30 years, I just finished this bear, it's suppose to be one of the bears that I watch on the http://explore.org Katmai Bear cams. Those cams are up during the summer, the bears are hibernating now but they have some great highlight videos of them.
